This is important whether you are outsourcing or building it in-house. If you are outsourcing, then this person will also be protecting you from issues like being able to access the source code and making sure can bring it in-house at a later time. Just make sure its clear what the expectations are going into any engagement.

In three of the cases, the founder was finding that the software teams (1 in-house, 2 outsourced) were delivering relatively well in the short-run. Actually, you are setting yourself up to be in the situation of the two founders that had outsourced. You are just setting yourself up for problems.
